Maybe I’m just paranoid, but what could possibly go wrong with this idea? Grimace.

Regarding the loss of the ability to use a local account instead of a Microsoft Account when setting up Windows…

"We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11."

Oh, okay, but how does it improve security or user experience?

"This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account."

Ah, so it does not improve security or user experience. It in fact is making the user experience worse, as you no longer can set up Windows offline easily.

The only reason is to force more users to sign up to Microsoft account.

[l] Gute Nachrichten! Microsoft optimiert die User Experience von Windows 11!

We're removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11.


Das war der letzte "dokumentierte" Weg, wie man mit der Brechstange Windows 11 ohne Microsoft-Account installieren kann.

This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.


Na? Ist jetzt Maximum Enshittification erreicht? Kündigt ihr jetzt endlich alle eure Abos und kauft diesen Dreck nicht mehr?

HostEurope, a formerly European web and e-mail hosting provider acquired by GoDaddy in 2016, just informed its customers that it will move their IMAP folders and everything e-mail to Microsoft's MS365 offer.

This move does not only incur additional fees for many customers – it also raises privacy concerns.

We recommend you empty all of your IMAP folders now and move your e-mail (domains) to one of the trustworthy e-mail services listed here: switching.software/replace/gma…

Trademarks used by HostEurope Group include 123-reg, Webfusion, Heart Internet, BrandFortress, Host Europe, Domainbox, Domainmonster, Domainfactory, DonHost, Sign-Up.to, velia.net and RedCoruna. Their users might also be affected.

Ämter ohne Microsoft – Warum Behörden freie Software nutzen sollten.

Eine EU-Studie beziffert das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von Open
Source Software auf 1:4.

Jeder Euro, den der Staat investiert, kommt vierfach wieder zurück. Würden mehr Institutionen Geld in Open Source stecken, statt an Microsoft zu überweisen, könnte das ein großes Konjunkturprogramm für die
europäische Digitalwirtschaft sein.

Om on Skype: "Microsoft now talks about Teams being their focus, showing that even today they haven’t realized what made Skype a cultural, consumer force. Microsoft Teams is a terrible product — and I dread using it. In simplest terms, Teams is a perfect encapsulation of a bureaucratic, archaic, and outdated 50-year-old company that is trying to reinvent itself as an AI leader."
